The root of ao many Immoral playa la tba immoral literature that Is published at tha preaaat time, which the plays are taken from. This Is a mattsr which should, also be looked IntoTV ; , In his eagerness to' see ths stags pure Mr. Wright of Halifax has dons what so many othsr performers nave dona, ha has gons about It In the wrong man ner. We do not aay that tha stags of tha present day Is purs, that profanity doaa not exist upon it, -But why should ths stage be purs, snd 'Why should pro fanity be prohibited? The business of the ..atage Is two-fold to amuse and to depict Ufa In a realletlc manner. ' The farther from amusement and the nearer ta realism that a play goea, the greater the play. And tha play that depicts life is it is st the present time will have naughty wordal in It and will now and then treat of subjects tbst would not be mentioned with propriety In the presence of young boys snd girls. r Regarding the Staircase Scene. A public cannot be warned against vice except It see vies portrayed In a realistic sense, in such a realistic sense that It become repulsive. . , Thoss au thorities who cut out the staircase scans in "Sapho" made the play - Im moral. .- Leave It In and It becomes a sermon against immorality. Ths re pulsive scenes sre the ones 'that work for good. ' Take out the realism and leave the suggestion snd - the play Is a curtoeity-raiser and a msnsoe, , - Shakespeare was highly ' Immoral In his life and In hla work. There Is hardly a play of his which is not tainted with immorality. If auck It may be termed. . Some of hla greatest works turn upon sn Immoral theme, as ths latter part of the "Merchant of Venice," and the whole of "Othello." The sweet ness of "Romeo snd Juliet" Is in ths Illicit love It portraya. and as this is sweet so the Inevitable climax Is bit ter, and teaches Its wholesome lesson. And Shakespeare aworo in his Playa osed profanity freely and In all placea. He made gentlemen awsar lit ths pres ence of women and children,, he msde tbem ciirae such other with right good will. Why? Bees use Shakespeare wae a realist. Because Shakespeare won his spurs snd bis eternal fame by portray ing life as life waa at th time. And he had no George Wright to hurl denuncia tion upon him.' v . ': I' -. ... . People Don't Cheer Profanity.'' Conceive. If you - can, a play like "Arisona" without a cuas word. . Con ceive "The' Virginian" without a Jot of profanity. Think of "The Redemption of David Corson." the work of a minis ter of ths gospel and a moralist without suggestions of Improper', relations, la which lies ths real ' strength of the play. . Immorality is not immorality when it. serves to teach morality. Pro fanlty ta not swearing whan It deploys Ufa properly. Take It away from the stage and we "aave life stripped bare. we have a dacestlonv wo have something which young people caa sse and know they are looking at a lie. Ordinarily people do not eheer profs n. Ity on the stage. Many times, of course, tbey eheer the situation, the climax which brings ths profanity .out . No oonscisntlous Playrlght writes profanity wnere oy ngnts it Goes not belong. No conscientious actor sbosts It whsrs It Js not written In the manuscript And Mr.. George Wright and ether people should not see a play that is not writ ten by a conscientious man and played by a conscientious actor and they will thereby start the right sort of a reform the reform which boycotts plays In which, there la no merit and which may Be classed ss trash. But In ths slaas ef tresa tush plays as "Saphe" do not feel on g. The man who ' area Immorality in "gapho" ia a snaa with perverted tastes who cannot read moral when it Is pointed with a master nana. , There Is such a thing, of course, of a realist going too far. and la bis pur suit of realism search for tba extreme In all that Is degrading and morbid to tha exclusion of all that la beautiful and pure. This is the realism which tainted "Mrs. Warren'a Profeaelon." To be re alistic and portray life as It is, does not mean -that tha playwright and tha aotor ahould refuae to portray tha good qualities of that same life from whtob they draw tha bad qualities. When the vulgar extreme la approached too close ly, realism la lost Just tha aame aa when the superfine extreme ia too close ly aeareo. . y;, SPOTLIGHT FLASHES.
